NASA Astronaut Brought Patriots’ Super Bowl Banner Up To Outer Space

The Dallas Cowboys may still be considered “America’s Team,” but it’s safe to say the New England Patriots are the NFL team that represents the entire planet.

Not only because their six world championships are the most of any other team save for Pittsburgh (through the Steerlers’ rings aren’t nearly as recent.) But also because there’s literally a Patriots’ Super Bowl LIII banner in space.

The team posted a photo of the 2018 title banner at the International Space Station, also sharing the story on its website of how Patriots fan and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir brought the memorabilia along with her on the first all-female spacewalk.
